Hello Greg,
[..]
This message includes the transcript of the trial -
>LL>Lemme see if I got this right.
>LL>White guy pulls a gun on black kid.
>LL>Black kid tries to run away.
>LL>White guy shoots black kid dead.
>LL>Did I get that right?
>LL> LL>>Your attempt to twist the truth is typical of you.
>LL> LL>The truth? You can't handle the truth! Jack Nicholson said it first.
>LL>When he was in the Army, trying to instruct a student ...
>
>and Jack it say it again directly to you at the same volume and awesome
>acting ability that everyone is aware of.
Did he? What did Jack really say? Did you actually listen
to his speech? It was really more like a tantrum, rather than
a speech. In any case, here it is. In case you missed it -
Colonel Nathan R. Jessep testifies in court on "Code Red".
Enjoy the theatrics.
Transcript from "A Few Good Men" -
LTJG Kaffee: Colonel Jessep! Did you order the Code Red?!
Judge Randolph: You don't have to answer that question!
Col Jessep: I'll answer the question. You want answers?
LTJG Kaffee: I think I'm entitled to them.
Col Jessep: You want answers?!
LTJG Kaffee: I want the truth!
Col Jessep: You can't handle the truth!
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be
guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant
Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury.
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that Santiago's death,
while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque
and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk
about at parties, you want me on that wall -- you need me on that wall.
We use words like "honor," "code," "loyalty." We use these words as
the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a
punch line.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a
man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I
provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way.
Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand the post. Either
way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!
LTJG Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?
Col Jessep: I did the job --
LTJG Kaffee: -- Did you order the Code Red?!
Col Jessep: YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!
>I'll it again just in case you missed the first time
>
>George Zimmerman was acquitted.
George Zimmerman was found "not guilty" - which is far from
being innocent. Notice Col Jessep was never worried about his
being courts martialed.
>You can harp on this all you wish with your folly of useless points, but
> it's not going to prove the narrative or point.
Under our system of justice, the accused does not have to prove
his innocence. All he/she has to do is show reasonable doubt.
That is something the far right has failed to realize. The court
of public opinion is meaningless.
>We already know where this phony outrage is coming from.
Adult white racist murders teenage black kid in cold blood.
Feel better?
>it's familiar because it is this is seen nightly as the light from the TV
> fills the living rooms with what is really going on, which proves our
> point.
Did the neighborhood watch white racist wannabe cop order a code red?
